.......and we have a spin exiting turn 4; looks like Dominguez, who had earlier damaged the rear-wing in the Keyhole(why Race Control didn't call him in earlier is anybody's guess....... :shock: :shock: ) and it broke heading towards turn 4

Full-course caution...........

....and everyone's in for their stops..........most everybody gets fuel and tires; Quattro exited w/the air hose still attached and stops mid-lane :shock: :shock: :shock:


Wilson takes over the lead, but there is a bit of strategy, as several drivers, including Briscoe and Moraes, pitted just before the caution and are on differing strategies than the frontrunners

Top-5..........
Wilson, Wheldon, Camara, Briscoe and Carpenter
